So I stumbled upon this 125 amp alternator at Datsun Store while researching the various alternator upgrade options out there (GM, Pathfinder, Maxima, etc.), and I am really curious what exactly they have here. They claim that it's bolt in, doesn't need the T-plug, is internally regulated, doesn't require any diodes or new wire looms or bracket modifications, and the pulley it comes with will work if you get a particular fan belt. They also claim 50+ amps at an idle around 550 rpm. Is it just me or is this too good to be true? I've seen other options that make some of these claims, but nothing with this much juice that doesn't also have at least one thing you ha…

Hi all, I'm hoping that you can help me out, I've noted that the wiring around my 240z headlights isn't the best and I've recently had a couple of issues with my headlights. Notwithstanding this I'm also conscious of the age of the wiring and from what I've read the load that is being exerted on the cars combination switch. The car does get driven at night so I'm looking to upgrade the wiring and take the load out of the system with some plug and play wiring with relays if possible. I've seen a couple of different options online from different vendors however I wasn't sure if someone could point me in the right direction as what may be the best setup/value for …

wonder if this would work well for a 280z swap. replace the pulley and make some wiring mods (I have 75 so no need for charging light). think I would just need a switched power supply for the field coil. https://www.partsgeek.com/vj8ysk1-infiniti-j30-alternator.html 90 amps infinity J30

Hello, I need to some help understanding/locating where these two backup light wires go. They are #39 & 40 on the diagram below. The description on the diagram states they are backup light wires but I don't see where they would be plugged into. #39 - Backup Lights (RB) #40 - Backup Lights (LR) Thanks, Dan

Hey guys, I'm brand new on here. I have a 75 280, and I'm having some issues. As most know, datsun is really weird about switching up their transistor ign modules throughout the years. Mine came with the E12-06, but I had a buddy who had a E12-27 that he'd sell me for cheap, so I grabbed it. However I've run into an issue. The 06 is a 7 pin (non cali), and the 27 is 5 pin, missing a brown and white wire. From what I've seen, the brown is a ground of sorts, but the white goes through the water temp relay to the water temp sensor (I'm assuming to advance/ retard turning when cold or at O.T.) My question is what should I do with the white wire? I may have to manually f…

My wipers only function in fast and slow speeds. They will not "delay" or park properly in the off position. 1) Are these problems related? 2) Is there a "delay" module located on the motor or somewhere else? 3) Is this situation repairable or will a new motor (or module) be required? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
